Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) was an iconic intellectual author, professor honoris causa at the world's leading universities, and a leader of the Library of Babel and almost all libraries in the world. When Borges was invited to give a series of lectures in 1978, he chose topics with which he was close to his time. In the first, the great Argentine writer talks about a book, in the second about immortality, in the third about Swedenborg, a visionary who wrote that the dead choose hell or heaven of their own free will. The fourth is about a detective story, and the fifth is about time."

"We have many aspirations, including the desire to live and live forever, but we also have a desire for an end, besides fear and its reverse, hope. But all this can come true without personal immortality, we don't need it. Personally, I don't want it and I'm afraid of it; it would be terrible for me to know that I will go on, it would be terrible to think that I will remain Borges. I'm tired of myself, my name and my fame, and I want to be free of all of it," said Borges, whose paradise was the library.
